I recall a few years ago seeing a beautiful frame and correspondingly pantographed crankset on eBay, and from the same vendor a separate listing for the pantographed stem which absolutely came from that bike. I do hope whoever bought the frame also got the stem. I confess to being royally ticked off that the seller would take the selfish approach to milk as much money out of it as he could rather than keep the obvious parts together.
